Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a data transmitting method for guaranteeing secure data transmission between a sensor device and a controller. SOLUTION: The passenger protection system for a vehicle contains a start circuit 1 as a controller for starting a restriction means, an air bag, for example in relation to sensor signals generated by one or plural sensor devices 5 and 6 detached from the center. For obtaining high start reliability, data is to be inquired at short time intervals. For securely transmitting data between the start circuit 1 and the sensor devices 5 and 6, an information unit to be transmitted is encoded by a pulse with modulation signal having a specified period. The start circuit 1 inspects the period of the transmitted pulse width modulation signal and it does not transmit the corresponding information unit when they are not matched.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Currently, passengers in motor vehicles are effectively protected by restraint devices such as air bags and belt tensioning devices for the driver and passengers when the vehicle collides head-on with obstacles or other vehicles. Is normal. For each of these restraint systems, an output stage, which is centrally monitored and controlled by the control device, the so-called air bag starter, is required for driving the restraint system. It is also known to provide side air bags for the driver and passengers and to activate these air bags in the event of a side collision of the motor vehicle to ensure passenger safety in the event of such a side collision. In the case of a frontal collision, the starting time required for such a side air bag is very short compared to the starting time for starting the driver and passenger air bags in the case of a frontal collision because of the short deformation stroke during a side collision. Therefore, in addition to the acceleration sensors already present in the central air bag control device, at least two further additional sensors, which are respectively provided in the area of the door and thus are decentered, are provided, and these sensors provide the short starting required. It is necessary to realize time. Since the acceleration signals of the sensors present in the central air bag control system cannot be evaluated due to the large distance to the point of introduction of the force, these additional sensors out of the center are absolutely necessary. This is because at the required start-up time this acceleration signal has not yet reached the central space of the vehicle in which the central acceleration sensor is provided.

In order to be able to maintain a short start-up time of 5 msec or less, these off-center sensors must always be queried by the central control unit. These inquiry data relate to various system states and must be reliably transmitted in a shorter time. High frequencies require shielded cables, but there is an upper limit on the transmission frequency as such cables are undesirable for cost reasons. The maximum transmission frequency of the data line must not exceed 20 kHz, since at higher frequencies fast pulse rises result in high disturbance levels. Finally, there must be a unique serial interface for reading serial data in the central controller for each off-center sensor. Thus, the central controller uses at least two such serial interfaces, i.e. microprocessors which are generally commercially available as interfaces for off-center sensors on the left side of the motor vehicle. The use of these microprocessors is not possible, as they generally have only one serial interface. It is also impossible to read the data by the multiplex method, since both off-center sensors have to be queried at the same time.

Therefore, according to the present invention, a peripheral device generates a pulse width modulation signal (PWM signal) for transmission of an information unit, and the period of this PWM signal is defined as a target value. . As a result, each information unit is PWM
It is transmitted within a specific time corresponding to the period of the signal. The period of each PWM signal transmitted is determined and compared with the initially specified period. If they do not match, the transmitted information unit is not transmitted to the control device. Thereby, the disturbed data transmission can be confirmed reliably and the corresponding information content can be ignored.

In an advantageous development of the method according to the invention, the data exchange between the peripheral device and the control device is based on an interrupt signal generated by the peripheral device. For proper transmission, microprocessors used as control devices typically have multiple capture inputs. This data transmission method does not require synchronization because the transmission is automatically synchronized by the stagger signal. When using the interrupt technique, the information units are preferably transmitted serially, the level change for the transmission of the first information unit serving as an interrupt signal.

The data transmission method according to the invention is particularly suitable for data processing systems used in motor vehicles. In this case, the control device serves as a starting circuit for the passenger protection system and is connected to a plurality of off-central sensor devices as peripheral devices via respective data lines.
The sensor device thus offset from the center serves as a collision sensor for detecting, for example, a side collision of an automobile, and activates each side air bag. The data transmission time of the information unit and accordingly the cycle of the PWM signal is 500 usec. As a result, the requirement for start preparation within this cycle time of 500 μsec is satisfied, and therefore 5 mse

In the case of a side collision, the starting time is much shorter than in the case of a frontal collision because of a slight deformation stroke.
Must be less than msec. The acceleration signal of the acceleration sensor device 4 of the starting circuit 1 provided in the center of the vehicle has not yet been evaluated due to the large distance to the force introduction point, and at the required starting time the acceleration signal is still in the central space of the vehicle. Since it has not been reached, the short start-up time mentioned above is required. The digital sensor signals produced by the sensor units 5 and 6, which are thus decentered, must additionally be evaluated together by the central processing unit 2. At this time, preparation for starting within a cycle time of 500 μsec is required for the side air bag. Therefore, the central processing unit 2 has to inquire and evaluate all the information of the sensor device out of the center in 500 μsec. This time corresponds to a data inquiry of 2 kHz. For example, information about the following features must be queried. Function 1: System operates without failure, Function 2: System starts, Function 3: System is on alert (corresponding to the beginning of a collision), Function 4: System is near starting limits. Function 5: The system confirms a side impact from the other side.

A pulse diagram for transmitting each of the functions described above is shown in FIG. The data information is then coded by means of the duty ratio, for example as shown in FIG. 2 and as illustrated in FIG. Here, the sum of the pulse duration corresponding to the high level on the data line and the pulse duration corresponding to the low level on the data line is approximately 500 μsec for each pulse width modulation.

Fault monitoring is performed by the central processing unit 2 of the starting circuit 1 monitoring the pulse duration, in this case 500 μsec. For example, the time between the two rising edges or the two falling edges of the pulse is evaluated. If this time is not about 500 μsec, there is an interfering signal on the data line. As a result of the reliable confirmation of the disturbed data transmission by the central processing unit 2, the corresponding data content is not transmitted to the central processing unit 2.

According to FIG. 1, both data lines 18 and 19 are routed to the so-called "capture input" of the central processing unit 2. An interruptable input is used here.
A suitable interrupt signal is generated by the sensor devices 5 and 6 and represents, for example, the first level change of the PWM signal. This eliminates the need for constant inquiry at the input end, thus saving valuable computer capacity. Furthermore, with this interrupt method,
No synchronization is required as the transmission is automatically synchronized to the capture input by the interrupt signal.
